NICE ENGINE NOISE


Recommended Posts

Posted

Today I went out for the day in Buttercup and as I went into Scarborough there was a long clear straight so I overtook a number of cars.

 

As far as I was concerned I was within the speedlimit and indicated etc.

 

After overtaking the cars I pulled into the petrol garage and started to fill up with fuel.

 

Next thing I knew this chap pulled up alongside me and said " you just overtook me down the road". As soon as he said this, I thought there may be trouble but as far as I was concerned I had overtaken the cars safely.

 

Anyway this chap only pulled into the garage to tell me how good he thought Buttercup sounded as we had overtaken him.

 

It made my day and I thought it was really good of him to stop and tell me so.

So you didn't floor him then :)  

  Be prepared for more comments in the summer.  Last year some boys said my car looks "sick" when I was at some traffic lights, I later was informed by my daughter that it was a complement.

Last month when pulling into my estate a kid (maybe 8 ish) started singing "They see me rollin. They hatin. Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty" which I do recognize but for those of you who don't its a rap song from many years ago. An interesting choice and quite the opposite to the typical oversize 4x4 I feel.

 

If its dry this weekend the gf is getting to sample the car - comments to follow...
